Title: Close up pictures of inside of a complete Vendo 81b
Post by: bcharlton on January 11, 2011, 01:52:46 pm
This is my first Vendo 81 restoration and I think I am missing the release mechanism that sits just under the shelves.  Please post picks if you have them.  Also, please let me know if I can buy one of these.  I think this may relaese the "vend" of the bottle.

Thanks Brian

Can someone please see if they can send me a picture of the inside of their Vendo 81 so I can see what mine is missing?

Thanks.

bcharlton,

Go to the Downloads section on the Soda-machines.com home page.  Find the pdf file titled Coolers_Vendo 56-81-110 and download it to you PC.  It is a great reference with exploded views of most all the assemblies including the vend cylinder you are wanting.  The exploded views are on Page 49 & 50.  Page 51 has an explanation of the parts and what they do.  I think it is better than a photo for what you are trying to figure out.
